Hi Experts,
I captured the adjacency establishment on a p2m-broadcast network and
the following appears:
1- first hellos multicast
2- then the neighbor is discovered and hello switches to unicast
3- dd, lsr, lsu and lsa all unicast to neighbor address
4- once the db are synchronized, the hellos move back to multicast
While steps 1, 2, 3 make perfect sense to me, step 4 is total
nosense :-(
Any idea while it switches back to multicast? see capture below
Thanks,
bit.
